Old fans of The Shield who have yet to sample FX’s powerful drama Sons of Anarchy may want to tune into the fourth season premiere on Sept. 6: Benito Martinez and David Rees Snell are appearing in multiple episodes!

Martinez (Capt. David Aceveda on The Shield) will play a right-hand man in a Mexican cartel. He’ll show up in episode two. Meanwhile, Snell — best known to Farmington followers as Ronnie — will depict an ATF agent who’s helping to investigate SAMCRO. He’s featured in the premiere episode, which begins with the SAMCRO boys leaving the pokey.

SOA, which was created by former Shield scribe Kurt Sutter, also features Kenny Johnson (Shield’s Lem) as Kozik.

'Sons of Anarchy': Season 4 will be badass, and not just because of guest star Danny Trejo

FX’s Sons of Anarchy returns with its 90-minute season 4 premiere on Sept. 6, and if the new promo featuring Machete‘s Danny Trejo doesn’t get you revved up, we don’t know what will. Watch it below.

After 14 months in the slammer, our favorite gun-running motorcycle club is reunited on the outside. Jax (Charlie Hunnam) emerges with a deeper commitment to his family with Tara (Maggie Siff), while Clay (Ron Perlman) — struggling even more with the chronic arthritis in his hands — feels like his time as leader is running out. (If you can’t ride, you’re out of the MC.) Both want to bank big money. “What it does to Clay’s outlook on the club’s ability to become independent so that they’re not beholden to anybody or anything is rather ruthless,” Perlman tells EW. “There’s an insanity to it almost in terms of its urgency.” He’ll make a business decision that divides the club and paves the way for Trejo and The Shield’s Benito Martinez to recur as new allies starting in episode 2 — SAMCRO will supply guns to a Mexican drug cartel and mule cocaine.

The Perlman-Trejo pairing is definitely one to look forward to. After watching one of their scenes together, SOA creator Kurt Sutter told EW, “It’s like these two battle-weary generals talking about the fates of their soldiers, and both of them played it with this great gravitas. As well as being badass, Danny just brings weight to everything he does.”  READ FULL STORY »

Did you know the first 100 words of this column are the last 100 words I write every week? I say this for two reasons: 1) If you’ve ever noticed the coherency of this column increases as you work your way through it, you now know why. 2) You now also have an incentive to click to the second page of this column. (Yes! I’m paginated now! << I don’t know if that statement is the “Spoiler Room” speaking or yours truly. I’m going to say it’s the “room” since I, in fact, am not paginated.)

At any rate, take note of the little number “2″ because it’s your path 2 more scoop. (See what I did there.) Hey, I warned you just one paragraph ago…

Remember to send scoop requests to spoilerroom@ew.com (note to the two smooshed “r”s) and follow me on Twitter for more things that don’t make a lot of sense and a few things that do (like TV scoop!). @EWSandraG READ FULL STORY »

Kurt Sutter quits Twitter after 'Mad Men' comments

Well, that was fun while it lasted.

Sons of Anarchy showrunner Kurt Sutter has cancelled his Twitter account, putting an end to his outraged and entertaining tweets about the TV industry. The move comes after Sutter drew a flurry of headlines for blaming the firing of Walking Dead showrunner Frank Darabont on Matthew Weiner’s lucrative Mad Men deal, as well taking on the TV Academy for Sons being snubbed in the Emmys.

As the showrunner eloquently explained on his blog: READ FULL STORY »

'Sons of Anarchy' showrunner claims AMC fired Frank Darabont because 'Mad Men' 'gutted' AMC

UPDATED: AMC’s year got off to an awkward start, beginning with very public contract negotiations with Mad Men. Then came the unexpected departure of showrunner Frank Darabont from The Walking Dead, and the revelation that the network was apparently playing hardball with Breaking Bad over a shortened final season. Toss in the audience-frustrating season finale of The Killing, and the network looks like a genuine three-ring circus, albeit a circus defined by moral ambiguity. Last night, Sons of Anarchy showrunner Kurt Sutter drove his metaphorical motorcycle into this metaphorical circus and metaphorically shot the elephant so he could cook it on his metaphorical spit. Metaphors! READ FULL STORY »

Hey, Roomies. I missed you during my travels! But your letters and questions kept me warm last week in San Diego during Comic-Con. (No, seriously, they made me sleep outside and I used them as a blanket. I’m kidding… probably.)

So, here we are, on the doorstep of fall TV, and we’re knocking hard until we get all the info we crave. Let’s get to it.

Remember to keep those queries coming! Mail them to spoilerroom@ew.com or tweet them to me @EWSandraG. Also, if you have a little time, send me your thoughts on Comic-Con. What you liked (videos?), what you didn’t like (the stupid faces I apparently make when I get really excited), and tell me if your scoop appetite was fed to your satisfaction. We have 360-ish days to work on it, and we’d like to start now. Love you like nerds love Mrs. Fields and overpriced memorabilia! Till next week.

‘VAMPIRE DIARIES’: KLAUS AND ELENA DISH!
There’s so much to look forward to on this season of The Vampire Diaries. Elena’s 18th birthday, bad Stefan, and soapy Damon. But when prompted for his outlook for the season, Joseph Morgan says he’s most excited to meet Klaus’ family. “We get a chance to go back and see the point where they became vampires and where the curse was placed on Klaus to suppress his hybrid nature, his hybrid side,” he told a roundtable. “It’ll be interesting when we introduce other originals who are possibly equally as powerful or have some sort of emotional hold over Klaus … to see what that brings out of him.” READ FULL STORY »

Kurt Sutter previews 'Sons of Anarchy' at Comic-Con, talks season 4

Kurt Sutter doesn’t do well with big crowds. So the idea of Comic-Con, despite his wife Katey Sagal’s vast experience at the event (for Futurama), was daunting. “The thought of going down there is a little overwhelming for me because I just know how huge it’s become, but last year was really my first year down there and it was pretty amazing, pretty overwhelming. The only thing I’ve been to which was somewhat similar — I’m a big gaming guy, so I’ve gone to E3 a couple of times — and it is obviously a fraction of what Comic-Con is,” he says. “The turnout for the panel and all the fans, it was just interesting to see the in-person personification of that kind of fan feedback. You obviously get it on Twitter, and obviously people are huge fans of the show, but to see all of that energy in one room is pretty awesome.”

And Sutter and the cast of Sons of Anarchy are looking to do it all again this year with their Sunday panel, at which Sutter says, they’ll hopefully preview the first few minutes of the show’s next season, premiering Sept. 6. In a chat with EW to gear up for the event, Sutter talked more about his Comic-Con memories and what fans can expect from the new season.

'Sons of Anarchy' creator slams Emmys over snub

After Sons of Anarchy was overlooked in the major categories by the Television Academy today, the show’s always opinionated showrunner Kurt Sutter — who is married to Sons of Anarchy star Katey Sagal, frequently mentioned as a strong possible nominee – took to Twitter to fire back.

In a series of profane Tweets, Sutter mocked Emmy voters as out of touch:

“Best part of not getting an emmy nod. now i don’t have to pretend i give a s— about the profiteering d-bag academy. … because you know if we were nominated i’d be all humble and blowing smoke up their asses. now i can stay true to myself and just be a d—.”

And: “If my mom and dad were alive this emmy snub would kill them. that’s not true, they were too old to understand my show. just like the academy.”

'Sons of Anarchy' first look: Opie gets hitched!

Just because FX’s Sons of Anarchy focuses on bikers and baddos, doesn’t mean the criminally underappreciated drama from Kurt Sutter can’t feature its share of soft and fuzzy moments. To wit: When the series returns in September, look for Opie (Ryan Hurst) and his soft-core porn “actress” Lyla (Winter Ave Zoli) to tie the knot.

EW obtained this exclusive first look of the happy occasion. Look at how the bride’s wearing white! Check out Jax’s sexy-short ‘do! Is that John Gage from Emergency serving as the officiant? And why in the heck do we have to wait until September for this show to return?

‘TRUE BLOOD’: YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED ROUND 2

Last week, we tackled some of your burning questions. This week, it’s round 2. The countdown to the June 26 premiere of True Blood is on! Here’s some stuff to tide you over.

Hi. I am a HUGE fan of True Blood. I know this season is primarily about Sookie/Eric, but this Bill fan wants to know if the former couple will have any decent scenes together as well? Will Bill be pursuing Sookie or is he too busy with his new power position? — CK
I know you’ve seen the first eight minutes, but the next eight will definitely answer your question about whether Bill cares or not. That said, Bill’s storyline is sometimes very twisted, but mostly just full of twists. READ FULL STORY »
